The 2016 Anti-Bullying & School Safety Conference will serve as a venue for the most knowledgeable national scholars and practitioners to share their expertise on the prevention of bullying and the creation of safe, positive school climate and culture.

On behalf of our organization and staff we are pleased to announce the expansion of the scope of our conference to include school/student safety. Our theme this year is Promoting Safe and Supportive Schools for All Our Students., with a focus on preventing peer mistreatment of our most vulnerable students, including special education students, sexual minority students, immigrant students and other targeted populations, so that all students feel safe and welcome at school.  

The Conference welcomes the participation of school personnel including Anti-Bullying Coordinators, Anti-Bullying Specialists, School Psychologists, Social Workers, SAC's, School Resource Officers, and Public Safety as well as personnel from other organizations that work with youth.
